A constituição do ser humano a partir de diversos contextos e experiências nas infâncias: a complexidade das obras de Paulo Freire

Paulo Freire elaborated a distinct work, in which he defended multiple knowledge: scientific, technological, technical, popular, humanitarian. Freire is an endless intelectual who focuses on understanding social problems. His works are mostly considered for his contributions to adult education and, more specifically, to popular education. However, in his works there are also reflections on children and their infancies. Thus, this is a theoretical essay whose objective is to discuss and critically reflect on Freire’s concerns with infant education. These analyses state that Freire’s assumptions can be recreated in the contexts related to infant education, announcing other possibilities in relation to practices carried out with children, as well as the conceptions of infancies.
